We prove a theorem that evaluates weighted averages of sums parametrised by congruence subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb{Z})$. In the proof, spectral methods are applied directly to the automorphic kernel instead of going over sums…

We consider kernel estimators of the instantaneous frequency of a slowly evolving sinusoid in white noise. The expected estimation error consists of two terms. The systematic bias error grows as the kernel halfwidth increases while the…

In this paper sequential monitoring schemes to detect nonparametric drifts are studied for the random walk case. The procedure is based on a kernel smoother. As a by-product we obtain the asymptotics of the Nadaraya-Watson estimator and its…

We consider the asymptotic normality in $L^2$ of kernel estimators of the long run covariance kernel of stationary functional time series. Our results are established assuming a weakly dependent Bernoulli shift structure for the underlying…

In this paper, by mapping datasets to a set of non-linear coherent states, the process of encoding inputs in quantum states as a non-linear feature map is re-interpreted. As a result of this fact that the Radial Basis Function is recovered…

Nonparametric kernel density estimation is a very natural procedure which simply makes use of the smoothing power of the convolution operation. Yet, it performs poorly when the density of a positive variable is to be estimated (boundary…

The generalization performance of kernel methods is largely determined by the kernel, but common kernels are stationary thus input-independent and output-independent, that limits their applications on complicated tasks. In this paper, we…
